A Captured Thief.

On Tuesday last the store of A.
S. Senter at Shoshone, was burg
larized and several revolvers, two
watches and a lot of silver ware
stolen. Deputy Sheriff White on
Wednesday got clue to the robber
and succeeded in arresting him at
American Falls with all the stolen
booty in his possession. While
aboard the cars the prisoner drew a
pistol, which he had hidden in his
clothes. and presenting the muzzle
to the officer, declare! his intention
of killing him. In his excitement
he pulled upon the guard in place
of the trigger, and was quickly dis
armed by the officer and others be-
fore doing any injury. At Shoshone
he was brought before Justice White
for examination and acknowledged
being the thief. He will be sent to
the county Jail to await the session
of the next grand jury.

The Smoky Service.

Commenting upon the item pub
lished in last weeks KEYSTONE re-
garding the visit of mail route in
spector Branch and the proposition
to establish direct mail line from
Ketchum to Smoky, the Inter-Idaho
says:
The people at Smoky need a better
mail service, for they get mail only once
week; but il is probable that u change
will! be made that will he far more favor
able to them than the one proposed by
the KEYSTONE. The Inspector IS consid-
ering the Rdvisability OF disseminating
the route from Bellevue to Crichton and
Soldier and making it from Haley to
these points, daily, Of course, by way of
Doniphan and the new postoffice, Hum
phrey, which will probably he established
on Willow creek.
This plan would have several advan-
tages over any other. Doriphan, or
Gold Belt, would then have a daily mail
while it now has only weekly. Smoky
would be supplied from Humphrey, and
could therefore have daily mail ut less
cost than tri-weekly from Ketohum.
1t is estimated that daily mail could in
this way be given to the Gold Belt and
Smoky without any more expense
to the department than the present cost
of furnishing them with weekly mail.
HALEY is certainly entitled to
mail service as above set forth but
Smoky should not be made de-
pendent upon that service alone.
Residents there can secure their
mail from two to three days sooner
by having a mail route from Ketch
um and enjoy the privileges that
they are now deprived of. During
the winter months the carrying Of
the mail over the Willow creek
route will be extremely uncertain
and attended with a great amount
of trouble, while the road from
Ketchum will be kept open and
travel kept up uninterrupted. Both
routes are necessary and should be
established.

The symptoms of Biliousness are
unhappily but too well known. They
differ in different individuals to
some extent. A bilious man is sell
dom a breakfast eater. Too fire.
quently, alas, he has an excellentap-
petite for liquids but none for solids
of a morning. His tongue will
hardly bear inspection at any time
if it is not white and furred, it is
rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly
out of order and Diarrhea or Consti-
patton may be symptom or the two
may alternate. There are often
Hemorrhoids or even loss of blood.
There may be giddiness and often
headache and acidity or fatulence
and tenderness in the pit of the
stomach. To correct all this if not
effect a cure try GREENS AUGUST
FLOWER, it costs but trihe end
thousands attest its efficacy.

A Knowles fire pump has been
put in place at the Smelling works
of the p. &. l. Company. 1t is To-
Gated on the upper floor, west OF
the sampling room and with full
supply of hose on hand any incip-
lent confagation can be speedily
quenched. The pump throws a
powerful stream of water through
an inch nozzle and is so situated
as to fully command all portions
of the extensive works. A trial
made during the week showed the
pump to work very satisfactory.

The O'Neil gang of cattle thieves,
about as we'll known in Idaho as in
Nevada. have finally come to grief.
The whole gang have been indicted
in Elko county, Nevada, and are in
Jail on charge of cattle stealing.
Two of the O'Neil's were killed
some years ago in White Pine
county, Nevada, and that country
getting too hot for them they re-
moved to Elko and have been at
work on all the ranges in that part
of the country and portions OF
Idaho. 1t. il believed they will
now be forced to suspend business.

ocroDeR's SHOWING.
Monthly Statement Of Business Trans
acted ct the Ketchum Depot.

The amount of business trans
acted at the Ketchum depot during
the month of October shows con-
tinued increase of business in COM
parison with the same month of
the previous year. A falling off in
freight receipts is naturally ex-
pected in October, as large shippers
usually have their winter stock on
hand by the close of September,
particularly those who are engaged
in any business at a distance from
the terminus of railroad transport
tation. This fact taken in cOnsid-
Grafton, the showing made for Oc-
tober is a good one and forcibly
demonstrates the growing impor-
lance of ketchum both in regard
to its steady increase of local bust
ness and a shipping point to the
several outlying towns and mining
camps. Following is the showing:
POUNDS

were as follows:

The ore shipments for October,
1866, were greatly in excess Of the
amount sent out during the cores
ponding month of 1887, amounting
to 323,OO3 pounds. This is ac-
counted for from the fact that dur
ing the season there has been little
or no effort made to place ore on
the outside market, the freight on
the same over the railroad being
bar to profitable shipment, while
the further fact exists that consid-
cradle more ore from the producing
mine are sold to the 2. a. l. Com
pany here.
The money receipts at the depot
for October were as follows:

In addition to the above receipts

venience, is collected at point of
destination.

MINING NOTES.
A correspondent to the Range
and Valley says that the Pine Grove
mines, near Rocky Bar, are looking
wonderfully well and producing a
high-grade of ore. The building of
two stamp mills at the foot of the
mountain below the mines, to be
driven by water power, is expected
next summer.
The Viola Company is shipping
in new machinery for its smelling
works at Nicholai.
The suit of Lavell vs. Hamilton
for the possession of the Ava mine
on Boulder mountain, was tried in
the district court last week and re-
suited in a disagreement Of the
jury which stood 8 to 3 for the de-
PENDANT. The property will now be
tied up for months more while it
should be producing ore.
David Conrad brought down
three tons Of ore from the Little
Chief mine on Boulder mountain
during the week. The ore yielded
him a good return.
Prof. Green and DR.. Walsh, both
wel-known mining experts, returned
from Bayhorse on Tuesday. Their
visit is presumed to be in some way
connected with the deal now under
way regarding transfer of mining
property in that district.
Messrs. McCarty and Essen, the
leasers Of the Silver King mine,
Sawtooth district, are getting out a
fine lot of ore, averaging about 500
to the ton. Several shipments have
been made to the sampling works
here.
The ore shipments from mines
at Broadhead and vicinity, during
the month of October, were as fol-
lows:

prosperity Of that State.
